Abstract: Cassava (Manihot esculenta) forms part of the staple diet for more than 600 million people across the world, particularly those that live in poverty and remote areas where food security is poor.1 The plant grows in poor soil and is relatively drought resistant; the tubers are rich in carbohydrates and the leaves contain some protein.
